I have a ghost pepper plant and am interested in trying to infuse some oils. Can anybody provide any direction? I am concerned about the "heat" in the pepper and am not sure about the amount of pepper, oil type, or a safe procedure.
Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
For fresh eating and refrigeration, right? They can't be canned. We use cannola oil or olive oil and the basic instructions are 2 chili peppers to 1 cup of oil. We use our peppers dried but I don't know of any reason why you can't use fresh as long as you strain the pieces out (leaving them in increase the risks of botulism). The flavor just won't be as intense using fresh as with dried. We saute the diced peppers in the oil over a very low heat - you don't want it to scorch or smoke - for about 20 mins. Pour it into a sterilized jar and let cool over night. Next day strain out all the solids, cap and keep in the fridge. Keeps for a couple of weeks. It may cloudy up a bit but clears up once it returns to room temperature. How many peppers you use will all depend on how hot you want it to be. I'd start with 1 and see if you want it hotter next time. There are lots of "infused oil" recipes on the web, some with additional spices etc. and as long as you recognize that they can't be safely canned for long term shelf storage, most any of them will work.

You could can a marinated pepper, though. This one is safe. |

ABC's World News Tonight pushed the myth that building the Keystone XL pipeline could create up to 40,000 jobs. In fact, the pipeline is expected to create as few as 50 permanent jobs.
During a November 18 report on the failed Senate vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, World News Tonight anchor David Muir stated that "many argued it could have created thousands of American jobs." ABC White House correspondent Jonathan Karl added that "the jobs estimates range from 4,000 to 40,000 jobs. Proponents say it not only creates jobs, but it could lead to energy independence."
But PolitiFact has classified similar claims that the construction of the pipeline would create tens of thousands of jobs to be "mostly false," because a vast majority of the jobs would be temporary, and it "does not amount to tens of thousands of full-time jobs in the most common sense of employment." According to PolitiFact, "the State Department estimates the operation of the pipeline will only create 35 permanent, full-time jobs and 15 temporary contractors" once construction is complete.
The pipeline would also do little for "energy independence." Much of the oil that would be carried by the pipeline is slated for export, and U.S. imports of oil would be minimally affected by the supply that would flow through the pipeline.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough peddled the myth that building the Keystone XL pipeline would "create 50,000 new jobs," even though independent fact checkers have called that figure false. The pipeline is projected to create as few as 50 permanent jobs.
The House of Representatives passed a bill to fast-track approval of the Keystone XL pipeline for the ninth time on Friday. A parallel measure will be considered in the Senate on Tuesday. The administration has indicated that it plans to delay approval of the pipeline while a legal challenge to the proposed route proceeds and suggested that President Obama would veto the effort to accelerate the process.
Scarborough questioned any decision to delay the pipeline on the November 17 edition of Morning Joe and wrongly claimed that the project would "create 50,000 new jobs."
The implication that building the pipeline would create 50,000 jobs that don't currently exist is not true. As PolitiFact noted in calling similar job creation estimates false, many of the jobs that would be supported by the pipeline already exist, and the majority of the construction jobs that would be supported are short term.
"A State Department review found the project could support -- not create -- 42,100 jobs. But that number needs considerable explanation and does not amount to tens of thousands of full-time jobs in the most common sense of employment," PolitiFact noted. "The figure represents the project's estimated direct, indirect and induced jobs over two years of construction, and all but 50 are temporary."
Right-wing media resurrected the myth that increased immigration hurts American workers in response to President Obama's plans for executive action on immigration. In fact, studies consistently find that immigration does not lead to higher unemployment or lower American wages and that it actually helps the economy.
Fox News revived a long debunked myth to inflate the number of long-term, sustainable jobs that would be created by the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Washington Post has promoted the conservative myth that corporate taxes in the United States are among the highest in the world while pushing the claim that tax rates should be further reduced as part of a so-called "reform" of the tax code.
A Media Matters study on the coverage of key policy issues in nightly news' midterm election broadcasts finds that 65 percent of network news segments that dealt with the midterm elections failed to discuss the policy issues most important to the American people.

Fox News misleadingly claimed that a Republican Senate majority could be a "big plus" for the stock market and generate economic growth of 3 percent to 4 percent, but hid the reality that growth has already topped those levels.
On the November 3 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum warned that the midterm elections could have a "big impact on your money" and argued that despite recent stock market growth, "we could be seeing an even bigger rally if the GOP takes the Senate." Fox Business host Stuart Varney agreed, attributing the stock market rally of the past two weeks to the fact that "Republicans look more and more likely to take the Senate," and predicting that policies produced by a Republican-led Senate could set the economy on a path toward "3 to 4 percent" growth "instead of 2 percent." MacCallum and Varney claimed that 4 percent growth is something the economy has not seen in "a long time":
In reality, the American economy has grown by an average of 4.1 percent in the last six months -- while the Senate remained under Democratic control. The second and third quarters of 2014 had the strongest back-to-back growth rates the U.S. has seen since 2003, with respective growth rates of 4.6 percent and 3.5 percent. In fact, growth rates have topped Varney's arbitrary "3 to 4 percent" threshold during four of the past five quarters.
As Bloomberg News' Dave Weigel noted, Varney's speculation also ignores the Dow Jones industrial average's gain of more than 4,000 points since the 2012 election. The Dow is up more than 9,000 points since President Obama was first inaugurated in January 2009.
CNN's Candy Crowley failed to fact-check GOP Senator Rand Paul (KY) as he attempted to distort and scandalize Hillary Clinton's recent remarks on the efficacy of so-called trickle-down economic theory.
During the November 2 edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Candy Crowley interviewed Sen. Paul and allowed Paul a platform to attack Hillary Clinton. Paul attempted to paint Clinton's recent comments on the failures of trickle-down economics as a suggestion that she believes government is primarily responsible for creating jobs:
CROWLEY: But you feel this is a referendum on the president. What does it say about Republicans, because a lot of these races, about ten of them are still pretty darned close, which means that those Democrats have been able to survive in the worst of environments.
PAUL: Well, I think it shows that our country is pretty evenly divided and it tilts a little bit one way and a little bit the other way. But, I think that when you have a president and then you have Hillary Clinton saying the same thing, saying that businesses don't create jobs, a lot of Americans are scratching their heads and saying, "who do these people think create jobs if businesses don't? Do they think government creates jobs and that that's how America became great?" And I think there's a fundamental, philosophical debate in our country. But I sense a lot of people saying to themselves, "you know what, I think if we don't understand businesses create jobs or we don't understand that we want American money and businesses to come home and we want to do something constructive, then maybe we need new leadership in the country." So I think people are ready for new leadership.
The full context of her remarks reveals that Clinton never said "government creates jobs" -- a fact Crowley failed to correct Paul on. Rather, Clinton's stated position merely emphasized the important role consumer demand plays in generating success for American businesses, and pointed to increases in the minimum wage as a potential avenue for enhancing the demand side of the economy:
CLINTON: Don't let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs. They always say that. I've been through this. My husband gave working families a raise in the 1990s. I voted to raise the minimum wage and guess what? Millions of jobs were created or paid better and more families were more secure. That's what we want to see here, and that's what we want to see across the country.
And don't let anybody tell you, that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know, that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried. That has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.
One of the things my husband says, when people say, what did you bring to Washington? He says, well I brought arithmetic. And part of it was he demonstrated why trickle-down should be consigned to the trash bin of history. More tax cuts for the top and for companies that ship jobs overseas while taxpayers and voters are stuck paying the freight just doesn't add up. Now that kind of thinking might win you an award for outsourcing excellence, but Massachusetts can do better than that. [Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley] understands it. She knows you have to create jobs from everyone working together and taking the advantages of this great state and putting them to work.
Crowley also failed to mention that Clinton reiterated this position during a clarification of her original comments:
CLINTON: So-called trickle-down economics has failed. I shorthanded this point the other day, so let me be absolutely clear about what I've been saying for a couple of decades: Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in an America where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out -- not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.
Colorado's two largest newspapers, The Denver Post and The Gazette, have rarely mentioned Hispanic voters and the issues that matter to this key electoral bloc in their coverage of the state's U.S. Senate race.
From the October 29 edition of MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show:
Loading the player reg...
A new report that ranked the United States 65th in the world on gender pay equality discredits Fox News' continuing campaign to dismiss the gender pay gap.
According to a recently released report by the World Economic Forum examining gender equality across the world, the United States ranks 65th in their survey of 142 countries and earns a wage equality score of only 66 percent -- meaning women earn only two-thirds of what men earn for similar work. The report, which drew from nine years of data, found that there has been "only a small improvement in equality for women in the workplace" since they began surveying the issue, and predicted that women won't see full gender equality in the workplace until at least the year 2095.
Despite the persistence of pay inequality in the United States, Fox News has continuously rejected the gender wage gap as a myth and a "meme," denied its existence entirely, and falsely attempted to attribute the gap to women's personal choices and "emotional difference[s]."
Just weeks ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, the network has even downplayed pay inequality as an issue not important enough to "drive voters to the polls," but polling data shows the issue matters to women. A September poll from Gallup found that "nearly four in 10 Americans say equal pay is the top issue facing working women in the United States today." That number was even higher for working women themselves, a majority of whom cited it as the most important issue they faced.

Conservative media praised the failed theory of trickle-down economics in response to Hillary Clinton's remark that the middle class, not tax cuts for corporations, spurs economic growth, a position backed by economists.

Nautical Robot. The modular design of our robot allowed the parallel assembling of many parts.
Separate sub teams were created to construct the base unit, the fin cases, the fins themselves and an outer shell to provide sufficient buoyancy. For multiple parts, such as attaching the bevel gears to the respective shafts we used previously designed holders to simplify the process. We're Sexist Toward Robots. Last month, Toshiba unveiled a prototype robot capable of sign language.
But the first thing you noticed likely wasn't its 43 actuators or even its apparently "warm-hearted" personality. The first thing you probably clocked: It's a girl. Automata Trailer Shows Off A Robot Action Movie That Gets Robots Right. Over 1,000 robots swarm together in Harvard lab. Ants, schooling fish and flocking birds all have something in common – they can achieve things by working together that they could never do on their own.
With that in mind, researchers are now looking into ways of allowing "swarms" of communicating robots to accomplish tasks that are difficult or even impossible for single robots. Harvard University recently performed an unprecedented demonstration of that behavior, in which a batch of over 1,000 tiny Kilobots arranged themselves into a variety of pre-assigned two-dimensional shapes.
Each individual Kilobot is only about the diameter of a US quarter-dollar coin, and moves via three rigid legs that are vibrated by two motors, allowing it to move left, right or straight forward. A bottom-mounted wide-angle infrared transceiver shoots a light beam down at the smooth surfaces that the robot shimmies across, that beam reflecting up to be received by other nearby Kilobots.
Should Robotics Companies Help The Workers They Displace? "The company recognizes that when a restaurant brings in its system, jobs will be eliminated; it wants the men and women who lose their jobs to become engineers and work to design more automated systems.
" Yes, but how many engineers can an economy support? I've got a lot of friends who are engineers (Aeronautic, civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.) and they all told me it's a bit like the profession of law: sometimes there is an oversupply and that makes it harder to distinguish yourself in the job hunt. Self-Assembling Robots Are Here, And They Are Awesome. Bla, it doesn't really assemble itself. looks more like it just gets up and starts walking.
Whats the point of that? Think of how hard it is for you to do that every morning. I don't get what you are saying. Velociraptor-inspired robot can run almost as fast as DARPA's Cheetah. There's a new robot that's almost matched Cheetah's speed record, but it wasn't designed after another speedy cat.
Instead, it takes cues from something more terrifying: a velociraptor. The two-legged machine named Raptor was created by scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, who've even outfitted it with a tail like the extinct reptile's for balance. In its current form, it can go as fast as 28.58 mph (46 km/h), just a bit slower than the famous mechanical cat's max speed of 29.2 mph (47 km/h).
Compared to DARPA's robotic cat, though, Raptor's technology is a lot simpler, even using ordinary springs as tendons to be able to run fast more effectively. Right now, Raptor's confined to running on a treadmill like Cheetah's older iterations, but its creators hope to make it more stable so it can run on any surface without a tether. New video shows range and versatility of professional service robots. Robot Reads Novels, Writes Songs About Them. If a robot read a novel, how would it feel?
You might get a sense from these little jingles. Below are some songs that were automatically created by a series of algorithms that turn the emotions in novels into short pieces of music. If the songs remind you, traumatically, of your untalented little sister practicing piano… well, you can't say I didn't warn you. Ultra-fast, the robotic arm can catch objects on the fly. 12.05.14 - A robot developed by EPFL researchers is capable of reacting on the spot and grasping objects with complex shapes and trajectories in less than five hundredths of a second.
With its palm open, the robot is completely motionless. A split second later, it suddenly unwinds and catches all sorts of flying objects thrown in its direction -a tennis racket, a ball, a bottle-. This arm measures about 1.5 meters long and keeps an upright position. It has three joints and a sophisticated hand with four fingers. It was programmed at the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory at EPFL (LASA) and designed to test robotic solutions for capturing moving objects. Run, robot, run – here comes the OutRunner. So, you already own little remote-control cars, planes, boats and submarines ... what else could there be?

InMoov is an Open-Source Humanoid Robot You Can Make With a 3D Printer.

InMoov is an ongoing project, and so far it is possible to build the robot's arms and shoulders and to connect them with a torso unit. Google buys AI firm DeepMind to boost image search - tech - 27 January 2014. Google's shopping spree is far from over. Today the firm confirmed it has purchased DeepMind Technologies, a machine-learning company based in London, for $400 million. The acquisition of the AI firm follows Google's purchase of eight advanced robotics companies in December and the smart thermostat maker Nest Labs earlier this month. It is not hard to see why Google might be interested. DeepMind Technologies employs machine-learning engineers led by Demis Hassabis, a former commercial video-game coder turned artificial-intelligence expert and neuroscientist.
A New Scientific Model that Defines Alien Intelligence. I have two thoughts in response to this: 1) This is interesting, but humans have enough trouble applying concepts of diverse intelligences and diverse personalities to other humans, let alone other species. It'll be a while before we can easily interact with or understand actual aliens. 2) I still think this is interesting, but... really, it would save a lot of time and energy if we could all just agree that any form of life is an expression of some sort of intelligence; and that therefore, it's all uniquely valuable and worthy of our respect—we're not superior to any of it, in any sense. The universe is full of (made of) ambient intelligence. ... it would save a lot of time and energy if we could all just agree that any form of life is an expression of some sort of intelligence; South Korea's plan for a robot-themed amusement park switches back on. Since 2007, the South Korean government has dreamed of Robot Land, a robotics research park and themed destination with rides, exhibitions, shopping, and even housing.
Although the originally planned open date of 2012 has come and gone, ground was officially broken for the 300-acre park last year and a new timeline seems to indicate that Robot Land may now be on target to deliver on its promise of a themed world dedicated to robots.

A Flirtey UAV near the Sydney Opera House Image Gallery (3 images) University textbooks can be quite expensive to purchase, so Australian startup Zookal now offers an increasingly popular option – textbook rentals. The problem is, some of the money that students save by renting just goes into shipping charges for the rented books. That's why Zookal has joined with another Ozzie startup, Flirtey, to offer free textbook delivery by drone. Gadgets to Help the Party Host. Artificial muscles could allow robots to lift 80 times their own weight.
It's a classic science fiction scene: an android is injured and its human-like exterior is laid bare to reveal the metallic gears and cables of its true mechanical nature. The future is, unsurprisingly, not likely to match this scenario as our ability to mimic biology with innovations like artificial muscles improves. The latest breakthrough in this field comes from the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Engineering where researchers have developed a "robotic" muscle that extends like real muscle tissue to five times its original length, has the potential to lift 80 times its own weight and holds out the promise of smaller, stronger robots capable of more refined movements.

Erskine's Prairie Peace, a hybrid spinosissima, has become my Great White Whale of obscure rose hunting over the years. I did receive unrooted cuttings once from a very kind person, but was I unable to get them to take root. I"ve been told that difficulty in rooting such cuttings has been one of the reasons why spinosissimas are not as common commercially
Anyone know where I can purchase/obtain this Erskine's Prairie Peace for next spring? The only commercial vendor did not ship to the US. Thanks! |

I currently have two in my garden. It is normally propagated through suckers but I will try to use tip layering this year on several of my canes. I understand that it can probably (possibly?) be propagated that way. |
That is a gorgeous plant. If you could, possibly send a sucker to an ownroot plant nursery like vintage, we don't have any commercial sources for this plant- which is such a shame! As a breeder I'd cross it with everything pretty much.. |

I have some bachelor button seeds, blue boy, and im just wondering how long they store for under ideal conditions.
Also, i store my seeds in my room, and it stays about 68, would that be considered ideal? They are in plastic bags |
Follow-Up Postings:
"Ideal storage conditions" are debatable and there is lots of info here on proper storage including a FAQ. Generally as long as the seeds are not exposed to heat or humidity they are fine and will remain viable for many years. Plastic seals in humidity unless the seeds are essentially bone dry or desiccants are packed with them so paper is more recommended and cooler is better. There are a few exceptions - primarily allium family - but otherwise a better than 50-60% viability is assured for years. Dave |

Just thought I'd throw this out there. Recently I drove back home to Albuquerque for the holidays. As I was heading north on I-25 just south of town I noticed there were several mesas just west of Isleta Pueblo with quite a few creosote bushes growing. I think this has to be the northernmost natural population of Larrea tridentata. Having spent most of my life living in Albuquerque, I have never seen creosote growing anywhere on the West Mesa or the Sandia foothills, and certainly not in the valley or north of Albuquerque.
Naturally there are many places in town where they have been planted as a landscaping plant, but no natural stands that I can think of. As a side note, I recall one summer rainstorm where I could swear I smelled wet creosote, and I wasn't near any planted in my neighborhood. I wonder if it was coming from those creosote covered mesas near Isleta? cd |
Follow-Up Postings:
More than likely. BTW- Larrea t. isn't native to NM, it's crept in from the south just like mesquite. But it sure does smells great when it gets any moisture on it! |
- Posted by cactus_dude Tucson (My Page) on Fri, Jan 13, 12 at 0:09
Thanks nmgirl. Sorry but I have to disagree with you on creosote and mesquite not being native to NM. While overgrazing has led to populations of both species moving into areas where they were not previously found, they are both Chihuahuan Desert natives. Parts of southern NM are certainly part of that desert. In fact Larrea tridentata and various species of mesquite are so widespread that they are found in all three of North America's warm deserts. |
Chihuahua Desert natives yes, northern part of the C.D., no. I do wonder what the rock and ground squirrels favorite food was before the mesquite proliferated. Or maybe the squirrels have increased with the plant. They sure love it! |
- Posted by cactus_dude Tucson (My Page) on Fri, Jan 13, 12 at 11:30
Lol, yeah those mesquite pods must be mighty tasty! And sorry to keep disagreeing with you, but Larrea and Prosopis are most certainly native to the northern portions of the Chihuahuan Desert. And yes, populations or isolated individual plants are sometimes found outside of what is normally considered their normal zone of habitation, such as semi-arid areas of central New Mexico that aren't typically considered to be part of the Chihuahuan Desert. This is especially true of desert transition zones. Cheers, |
- Posted by fabaceae_native (My Page) on Fri, Jan 20, 12 at 14:25
I would have to agree with cactus dude. You would have to go back many thousands of years to find a time before creosote came to NM. That population of creosote is well documented, and is indeed thought to be the northeasternmost (and certainly the most cold-hardy) of the species. |
- Posted by cactus_dude Tucson (My Page) on Fri, Jan 20, 12 at 15:35
Thanks, fabaceae. I didn't realize that population had been documented. It's always interesting to find a plant genus occurring at the furthest limit of it's range. Also, I've heard reports of specimens of Ferocactus wislizenii found near Socorro. If true, these would have to be the northernmost limit as well. cd |
- Posted by greyghost61 8b SoWeGa (My Page) on Fri, Jan 27, 12 at 11:23
I know when I was in the army back in the early 80s we would go to white sands NM and there was creosote bushes everywhere........at least where we were. |
I live in Los Lunas a short ways south of Isleta Hill (just south of Albuquerque I-25 goes up over the eastern flank of the hill) and have always been intrigued at how that entire massive hill--of volcanic origin--is strikingly covered with creosote bush, yet our Los Lunas volcano (El Cerro), many times larger than Isleta Hill, has hardly any that I know of. |
- Posted by fabaceae_native (My Page) on Fri, Feb 3, 12 at 11:34
Yeah rdr115, it's certainly a disjunct population, the origins of which I would find hard to believe are due to simple expansion from overgrazing. Creosote seeds are not capable of rapid, long distance dispersal, so that population is probably a relict one from a long long time ago, when the distribution of creosote was quite different from today. In any case, I just love seeing it each time I go that way. |

2011 Final Draft Ranking
You can view our previous three installments here.
41. Lucas Lessio – LW – Oshawa (OHL) – 6'1 – 197lbs – Shoots L – Jan. 23, 1993
Lessio is the final of the Oshawa "big 3.†Lessio had an extremely productive rookie year in the OHL, but needs to continue to show some of the flair and smarts he exhibited this season. Lessio scored some extremely nice goals this year, is very relentless on the puck, and has some nice finishing ability. His board work is solid and he doesn't shy away from altercations. He needs to bring some consistency to his game and show a bit more in terms of what kind of player her is. We know what his peers are all about, but after a full year, we aren't really sure what Lessio projects as. More often than not, we saw him as more of a skilled winger with a tough of grit, but it seems that on some nights he wanted to be more of a puck-carrier and dangler than he is really capable of.
2010/11 OHL Statistics: 66GP – 27G – 27A – 54PTS – 66PIM – +8
42. Shane Prince – C – Ottawa (OHL) – 5'10 – 174lbs – Shoots L – Nov. 16, 1992
Shane Prince had one of the most offensively productive seasons of anyone in the OHL. Despite his stature, this young man plays the game with an intense amount of speed and effort. He's difficult to catch and extremely crafty with the puck. He's your prototypical playmaker. He uses his speed and vision to find open space and distribute the puck both forehand and backhand. Lacks creative stickhandling but has a good shot. Needs to bulk up to be effective at the next level.
2010/11 OHL Statistics: 59GP – 25G – 63A – 88PTS – 18PIM – +43
43. Scott Mayfield – D – Youngstown (USHL) – 6'4 – 197lbs – Shoots R – Oct. 14, 1992
Mayfield is a quiet kid that you won't notice much on the ice, and that's a compliment to his poise. He's a great skater, physical, heads up defenseman that is seemingly capable of doing anything asked of him. This future University of Denver product has all the makings of a kid that is a perfect fit for the current state of the NHL. He's poised, calm on the ice, and takes the reigns as a leader when he steps onto the rink.
2010/11 USHL Statistics: 52GP – 7G – 9A – 16A – 159PIM – -18
44. Reid Boucher – F – USNDTP – 5'10 – 192lbs – Shoots L – Sept. 8, 1992
Per Chris Peters of U.S. Hockey: "He's one of the absolute purest goal scorers in the draft. Not just American, everyone. He's got the nastiest release I've seen and his shot has serious zip on it. He's a little undersized, but has underrated strength. With the right center, Boucher's got 30-goal potential in him.â€
2010/11 US Statistics: 24GP – 14G – 6A – 20PTS – 13PTS – +6
45. Joel Edmundson – D – Moose Jaw (WHL) – 6'4 – 191lbs – Shoots L – June 28, 1993
Edmundson was one of the meaner, more physical players in this draft class. In only his first year in the WHL, he made an impact with his physicality and presence in the defensive zone. His skating improved from the beginning to end of the year, but he has a long way to go in that department. Edmundson needs to improve his poise and puck distribution to have a shot at the next level, but his willingness to fight and his physical presence make him an intriguing, big prospect.
2010/11 WHL Statistics: 71GP – 2G – 18A – 20PTS – 95PIM – +3
46. Rickard Rakell – RW – Plymouth (OHL) – 6'0 – 191lbs – Shoots R – May 5, 1993
This Sweden native suffered a high-ankle sprain mid-way through the year that limited his action. Rakell is a feisty forward with a great set of wheels. He isn't afraid of the dirty stuff and adapted really well to the North American game. His offensive skill set is limited, but he has a shot and can protect the puck well. He's great at both ends, and as he continues to refine his offensive game, he should pay a nice dividend. That said, even if his hands and scoring don't pan out, his style makes him low risk.
2010/11 OHL Statistics: 49GP – 19G – 24A – 43PTS – 12PIM – +14
47. Stuart Percy – D – Mississauga (OHL) – 6'0 – 186lbs – Shoots L – May 18, 1993
Percy had a great year for St. Michales, posting some good numbers and showing a wide variety of skills. Percy has a great hockey IQ and did an excellent job of taking care of the puck this year. His vision is top notch, he skates with his head up, and he does a fine job of making sure the puck stays out of trouble. Percy does need to work on his skating and mobility, but he has been able to get around it up to this point so far. To make the jump to the next level, he needs to work on his skating and his ability to stop and go against forwards that can dangle well.
2010/11 OHL Statistics: 64GP – 4G – 29A 33PTS – 50PIM – +50
48. Miikka Salomaki – RW – Karpat (FIN) – 5'11 – 198lbs – Shoots L – March 9, 1993
Salomaki gets a spot in our top 50 based on work ethic alone. He played in the Finnish elite league at just 17 so his sample size is small due to slight minutes. Salomaki is a good skater, has some decent hands, and goes to the net with regularity. He plays an up-tempo, hard-hitting game and never takes a shift off. He was one of the most noticeable players on the ice for the U-18's this year. I think the offensive ceiling for Salomaki is higher than some expect and he's already proven he can get to the front of the net and make a difference.
2010/11 FIN Statistics: 40GP – 4G – 6A – 10PTS – 53PIM – +2
49. Tyler Wotherspoon – D – Portland (WHL) – 6'1 – 203lbs – Shoots L – March 12, 1993
Wotherspoon is another big, physical defenseman that is really great in front of his own net. His gap control is great and he's as good of a skater in reverse as he is going forward. He shows lots of poise in his own end and is an effective penalty killer. He's another guy that you don't really notice much. He needs to improve his skating to be effective at the next level. Wotherspoon projects as a stay at home defenseman with good leadership qualities.
2010/11 WHL Statistics: 64GP – 2G -10A -12PTS – 73PIM – 0
50. Vladislav Namestnikov – C – London (OHL) – 6'0 – 166lbs – Shoots L – Nov. 22, 1992
You'll find Namestnikov higher everywhere else, but I am not sold on that top potential. His first year in the OHL was extremely productive, but he lacks the muscle and size to be effective in the NHL. He has excellent hands and a great shot, and he is also surprisingly effective in his own zone. That said, he can get knocked off the puck and taken out of games by stingy defense. He needs to bulk up and get meaner if he wants to make the jump to the next level.
2010/11 OHL Statistics: 68GP – 30G – 38A – 68PTS – 49PIM – +12

Summary: Congratulations to Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker, winners of APSA'S 2003 Law & Courts Teaching and Mentoring Award
So much more than a traditional casebook, this innovative text gets students to realize--quite powerfully--that Supreme Court cases are more than just legal names and citations. The landmark cases analyzed and excerpted in this highly successful two-volume set involve real people embroiled in real disputes whose cases have real political ...show more consequences. Blending the best of legal and political science approaches to constitutional law, Epstein and Walker explain the political factors that influence judicial decisions. Their emphasis on political context--arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, justices' ideological and behavioral inclinations, elected officials' partisan positions, as well as public opinion--allows students to see the development of constitutional doctrine within a decidedly political environment.
Examining the Supreme Court's interpretation of the basic liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments to the Constitution, the authors cover such important topics as freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, discrimination, and political participation. Bringing the fifth edition fully up to date, this comprehensive volume assesses recent rulings on affirmative action, privacy, and regulation of the Internet, as well as tackles the impact of war and terrorism on the government's authority to restrict civil rights.
Authored commentary, wrapped around the cases, helps students understand a particular case, as well as place it within the larger picture of an evolving and dynamic body of law. To help students see alternative points of view, the authors have included excerpts of important concurring and dissenting opinions for virtually all cases in the book. Curious students will appreciate both the Aftermath boxes which describe what happened to litigants after a ruling, and the Global Perspective boxes which compare U.S. case law to similar rulings and tenets in foreign judicial systems. Epstein and Walker also include profiles of influential groups and justices, photographs of litigants, exhibits from cases, and lively descriptions of the events that led to the suits. Website addresses are included throughout, giving students easy access to the full text of opinions as well as to an audio recording of oral arguments when available.
The electronic case archive you've been waiting for... Point and click to over 200 excerpted cases on clca.cqpress.com. It's free with Constitutional Law for a Changing America.
So useful and comprehensive, you are not going to believe it's FREE. With the publication of the fifth edition of the Rights, Liberties, and Justice volume, CQ Press is launching an electronic archive of more than 200 cases mentioned or referenced in the text's commentary. What's more, Epstein and Walker have excerpted these supporting cases so you can count on consistency from case to case and be confident that each decision has been edited with great sensitivity. Following the same format as those appearing in the printed text, archived cases will present the justices' votes, a summary of case facts, and a carefully edited version of the justices' opinions. By assigning cases in the archive, instructors can substitute or supplement the decisions that appear in the book without the hassle of editing or requiring students to read the full version of the Court's opinions. Offering maximum flexibility, instructors can now assign a favorite case, or send students to a quality resource for paper assignments and further study. ...show less

shekissesfrogs commented on the blog post What Foreign Corporations Will Obama Empower to Undermine Environmental Laws Near You?
New Zealanders are holding major protests against the privatization of their power companies, terming it Treachery and a majority of them are against the TPP
People Power Ohariu spokesman John Maynard said it was particularly concerned about the Trans Pacific Partnership free-trade agreement being negotiated among New Zealand, the United States and at least eight other countries.
"The deal could open the Government up to being sued by a foreign investor with as little as a 1% share in energy companies," Maynard said.
Wellington orthopaedic surgeon Russell Tregonning is the spokesman for OraTaiao: New Zealand Climate and Health, which represented 150 doctors around the country.
He, along with other submitters, raised concerns that partially privatised energy companies would not face the same requirements as state-owned companies to take climate change into consideration.
We need to alert the nationalist right who were dreadfully afraid of the transnational freeway from canada to Mexico. … states rights down the toilet.

Ready in 5 minutes Chilli heat level - mild - 1 No hydrogenated fat, artificial colours or flavours, added preservatives or MSG Suitable for vegetarians Coronation Chicken A classic British recipe mix with coriander seed, cumin & turmeric for delicious Coronation Chicken. Coronation Chicken was invented for the foreign guests who were to be entertained after Her Majesty the Queen's Coronation in June 1953. The food had to be prepared in advance, and Constance Spry proposed a recipe of cold chicken in a mild and creamy curry sauce to be served with a dressed salad of rice, peas and mixed herbs. The recipe won the approval of the Minister of Works and has since been known as Coronation Chicken.

Xbox 360 Gator Casemod Rises From the Swamp
Here's an amazing Xbox 360 that looks like it just crawled its way out of the Everglades. The alligator-themed 360 is covered with a lizard-textured skin, and even has an realistic alligator eyeball in place of its power switch.
Rest assured, no actual alligators were harmed in the making of this console. Xbox 360 modder dfwmonkie created the system's scaly gator skin using hand-sculpted layers of Bondo, coated with paint and clear-coat to give it the glossy wet look.
I certainly wouldn't want to run into this thing in a dark alley. I'd be afraid that some big pointy teeth might chomp down on my hand as I placed my game disc into the DVD tray.

According to the story, 62-year-old Noel Taylor and his wife, 58-year-old Barbara of Columbus, were traveling near the intersection of State Roads 3 and 250 at the Jennings-Jefferson County line when their motorcycle was struck from behind by motorcycle driven by 57-year-old Duane Knapp, also of Columbus. Barbara Taylor suffered a leg injury and Knapp sustained minor injuries. They were transported to St. Vincent Jennings Hospital in North Vernon.

A city in the territory of Issachar (Joshua 19:20), given to the Gershonite Levites (21:28; the King James Version wrongly "Kishon"). The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 6:72 reads "Kedesh" instead of "Kishion." The true reading is probably qidhshon.

Can't gp wrong with a RIA for the price. I have one that my dear wife got for me, I love it. A "slightly" improved version of a 1911A1, put a set of bakelite antique grips on her, almost like having a piece of history. Good shooter too (with 1911A1 limitations of course).
________________________________________ "I'm your brother, just make it count."
I also have a Rock Island, and I paid alot less for it than I did for a Colt 1991A1 a few years back, and the Rock Island will outshoot it all day long.
Rock's are decent. Made in the Philippines. Not quite up there with the big boys like Kimber though.
Hello all Ron L here/Responce to Defender! Ron L = SERESURPLUS When I bought my Rock Island 1911, I was mainly concerned about function, Interchangeability of GI parts, what I could work on and cost! Kimber, while a really nice pistol has undergone a lot of ups and downs and many do not take GI parts as a change out issue! I love what they have done with sites, larger ejection port and trigger options, they do have some nice radical beavertail grip safetys, but if I can't fix it myself with off the shelf parts, I'm not gonna buy or use it! No offence, just what I had in mind?
Brand loyalty is fine, but so too is an open mind. The 1911 platform (thank The Lord) is capable of satisfying just about every inclination unlike most other platforms. Heck, that's why we've got them. I've owned an RIA or two - one a 1911 CS (compact) and both performed extremely well both OTB and for as long as I kept them - something like 3K plus rounds without incident. Inexpensive guns describes them much better than cheap guns. If RIA are so good why did I sell them - well - I just don't have the money to keep what I've got and go out and buy another 1911, and as we all know the 1911 bug once contracted cannot be eradicated. I've owned Kimbers too and would say they are well priced guns and I'd never knock them, but the most reliable inexpensive / mid range / expensive (for me) 1911's I've owned have been from Springfield. But then again you can buy a Rock and ammo, take trip to the movies and still pay less than the cheapest Springer.
I owned Colts and Springfields long before I ever owned a Kimber. Neither brand is as good as the Kimbers I've owned. All three brands beat a Rock though.
I will admit to owning quite a few 1911A1s. I will also agree,for the money invested, the Rock Island Armory is a very good buy. The prices that I've paid are at half of what I paid for my Colts, Paras, Kimbers and Springfields. The ones I have 38 Super, Tactical Model and Nickel Plated all seem look very well made. When the weather breaks, I plan on taking them out for a well deserved work-out.
Sweet .45 man, I have the exact same pistol. Great shootin guns.

I'm so glad to see you in this dress: as for me, it's one of the best Burda's knits patterns. I have the same dress but I sewed it several years ago so it's already worn enough and not so good to display here. Your variant is so nice: the idea to add a belt is so simple but absolutely winsome and fabric so bright. I adore your work – you have just a stunning look!!!!
Aug 27, 2013, 09.07 PMby Ellen Hatteland
That's so sweet of you to say :) Thank you very much! I do like to use bright colors, it's refreshing and feels good :)

What a great dress. I love the cut, it suits very well. I wish I had this burda issue. I would sew that dress straight away too. Big compliment!
Aug 27, 2013, 01.30 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thank you very much! You know, I have seen a similar lately – I will check and come back to you :)
Aug 28, 2013, 06.48 AMby Ellen Hatteland
I found the pattern I was thinking about, but it's size 44… Sorry! It's in Burda 6/2013.
Aug 28, 2013, 08.30 PMby brisehuus
Thank you very much for checking it for me. That was very, very kind of you. :-)
Nov 3, 2013, 12.52 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Hello Brisehuus! Good news – I found a very similar pattern to this dress in Burda 03/2013 #131. You can have a look at this and see if you like it :) http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/flowery-dress-032013
Aug 27, 2013, 12.40 PMby steffania
As usual you've sewn a simply-gorgeus-simple-dress. Who said "less is best"?I like the way you always make the right things, as matching colours and fabrics with lovely patterns.
Aug 27, 2013, 01.29 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thanks a lot – that's very kind of you to say:) I like it, and it's fun with colors and fabric! and I do like to try different patterns – it can happen that I will make the same once again, but then I really love it :)
Aug 27, 2013, 10.48 AMby bethmaryharley
This looks great! I love the beautiful bright green solid against the spacey print! :-)

Aug 28, 2013, 01.09 AMby bethmaryharley
Oh, thank you, Ellen! My website's a bit sparse and I'm very new to it all, but I'm really enjoying learning ways to improve it! :-)
Aug 28, 2013, 06.45 AMby Ellen Hatteland
I think you're good! but it takes a lot of time… :)
Aug 27, 2013, 10.12 AMby Anjovis
Lovely dress Ellen! I love this fabric and all the colours. And your shoes of course :) I admire your courage to use bold prints and strong colours. Looks so good on you! You seem to have great summer in Norway. We have the same here in Finland. Over 20 degrees and the sun is shining even if September is soon here. But my mind (and sewing projects) is already in autumn :)
Aug 27, 2013, 01.23 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thanks a lot Anjovis! I do like strong colors, and that is the nice thing with making your own wardrobe, then you can choose whatever you like :) You know, even today the sun is shining and we had nearly 25 degrees in the weekend! so I'm Happy! and still in the summer-mode.. I will not let it go.. :)
Aug 27, 2013, 07.12 AMby liliv-1
One of the reasons I like very much your projects ellen is that because many of them they remind me of past favorite patterns! I had traced this many years ago but never made it:) I was afraid that it would emphasize my tummy but of course you don't have such a problem! The pattern is very flattering on you and as always you used a colorful and gorgeous print! And I looove your shoes and belt!
Aug 27, 2013, 01.15 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thank you very much Liliv! I can tell you – I had this pattern for a long time too, and I was looking at it many times before I really decided to try it, but I'm happy I did:) I've seen a similar pattern in one of the latest Burda as well..
Aug 27, 2013, 06.36 AMby Mary Athey
gorgeous dress ellen and i love your fabric. The style suits you as it's so elegant and classy. You have styled it perfectly with the green obi belt and heels, i have the same heels in tan lemon and pink. I'd love to have this dress in my wardrobe xx
